Medical Conditions : We believe that better hearing starts with better understanding. Whether you’re experiencing discomfort, hearing loss, or just curious about your ear health, knowing the cause is the first step to finding the right solution. Here are some of the most common ear conditions :
Ever feel like your ears are full or your hearing is muffled, especially after a cold? You might be experiencing glue ear. This condition happens when sticky fluid builds up behind the eardrum , making sounds seem distant. It’s particularly common in children but can affect adults too. With early intervention, glue ear is often temporary and treatable.
Frequent exposure to water, especially in warm, humid environments can irritate the ear canal, leading to painful inflammation and temporary hearing loss. If you have been experiencing ear pain, itching or discharge, it’s time to seek help. Our team can help treatment advice and preventive tips to keep your ears comfortable and healthy.
Otosclerosis is a condition where tiny bones in the middle ear become stiff or fused, preventing them from vibrating properly. This causes gradual hearing loss. It’s often inherited and tends to appear in early adulthood. Thankfully, with modern hearing aids or minor surgery, hearing can be significantly improved.
Your eardrum acts as a barrier and sound conductor. When it’s torn due to infection, injury, or sudden pressure changes, it’s known as a perforation. While this might sound alarming, most perforations heal naturally. In some cases, simple medical procedures or hearing aids can restore normal hearing and prevent complications.
If your ears frequently feel blocked or you struggle with pressure changes during flights or altitude shifts, ETD could be the culprit. The eustachian tubes help balance pressure and drain fluid from the middle ear, and when they don’t function properly, it can lead to discomfort, popping sounds, or even mild hearing loss. Luckily, a range of treatments from exercises to medical management can help.
It is a rapid unexplained loss of hearing that typically occurs in one ear over a period of 72 hours. Hallmark symptom is a sudden drop in hearing. Other associated symptoms may include dizziness, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), feeling of fullness or difficulty in understanding speech. SSNHL is considered to be a medical emergency and required prompt evaluation and treatment to improve the chances of recovery.
